What They're Saying
Critics Review
I defy anyone not to be interested in this book…convincing and compelling. De Courcy’s book takes the ruthless moon goddess of 20th-century myth and turns her into a human being, and that is more than many biographies would have done * Independent on Sunday *
Moseley undoubtedly led a fascinating - if frequently unsavoury - life. This gripping biography tells her unique story * Red *
Anne de Courcy has a riveting tale to tell and she does it with an ergomatic deftness that is enviable. Bold lady; compelling book * Literary Review *
